POLICE have released an e-fit image of a man suspected of carrying out a burglary in Englefield Green.

The incident took place at a house in Harvest Road at 6.45pm on Monday, November 9.

Detectives said the suspect entered through a kitchen window and began searching the house.

The man was disturbed by the occupant and left through the window empty handed.

The suspect was described as a white male, 6ft 2ins tall, 30-40 years old, slim build with mousey brown hair and clean shaven.

He was wearing a grey beanie hat, a short dark coat, dark trousers or jeans, trainers and spoke with local accent.

Detective Constable John Hobbs of Surrey Police said: “I hope the release of this very clear image of the man we would like to speak to in connection with this incident will encourage members of the public to come forward.

“Having your home broken into is a very upsetting experience, particularly as the occupant disturbed the suspect while he was still in the property.

“Fortunately on this occasion the suspect escaped empty-handed but Surrey Police will not tolerate serious offences such as burglary.

“I would urge anyone who recognises the image or with any details to contact Surrey Police and I can assure Englefield Green residents that everything possible is being done to bring this cowardly suspect to justice.”
